Damn right. I spent a decade in various cube farm environments, they are horrible, productivity-killing and soul-killing places. Never Again.
My place has switched from "open plan" to "open plan with hotdesking".
A cube?
The same cube every day, where you can leave stuff?
I'd take that!

Medium-pacer Ashish Nehra has been declared fit to play in Delhi's Ranji Trophy group match against Haryana, which begins in Lahli, a town outside Rohtak, on Saturday. Delhi coach Vijay Dahiya said Nehra had bowled for an hour and fielded during a training session, and was looking in good condition.
Nehra played two of Delhi's four Ranji games so far - the season opener against Uttar Pradesh in Ghaziabad and against Baroda, where he bowled only six overs before a hamstring injury sidelined him from that match and the next two. His presence in Lahli was meant to bolster Delhi's pace attack on a pitch that helps seam bowling and in weather that can aid his abilities.
Haryana lost their previous three matches in Lahli and according to Dahiya, the pitch was not the grassy heaven that bowlers dream of. The surface may be the same one used in the previous game against Baroda and, after a three-day gap, it was looking "bare and brown". Dahiya said it was possible that Delhi would play two spinners, "with a call on the fast bowlers to be taken tomorrow."
Delhi's choice of spinners is from offspinner Manoj Chauhan, left-arm spinner Pawan Negi and their frontline spinner Vikas Mishra. Negi is a bowling allrounder who gives Delhi the option of going in with five bowlers, if he is to replace Sumit Narwal. His selection would allow Delhi to field three seamers in Nehra, Parvinder Awana and Pawan Suyal. However, both Mishra and Negi in the eleven would mean Delhi playing two left-armers.
Delhi have 11 points from four matches so far with one outright victory, while Haryana are yet to win a point after three matches.

Not sure if you should wear that Tommy Bahama shirt out tonight? The magnificent bastard is here to help. Go ahead. Ask away. If you know about something you think we should know about, let us know (so we can then pretend that we knew about it all along.) Send a tip. |
MB feature: The Magnificent Bastard CocktailInvent the Magnificent Bastard CocktailThe first 10,000 times Thomas Edison tried to build a storage battery, he failed. Which means that even if he was averaging four new attempts a day, it still took him nearly seven years of solid work — Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays included — to successfully complete his mission. We figure we're maybe half as smart as Edison, and approximately fifty times more lazy. Plus, our own quest — creating a cocktail worthy enough to be called the Magnificent Bastard — is, we believe, at least twenty times harder than building a storage battery. Indeed, it's been 91 years since anyone's created a truly classic cocktail, and look at all the different modifications and improvements that have been made to storage batteries in that time.Left to our own devices, we calculate that it would take approximately 14,000 years to invent a cocktail that can proudly stand alongside the Rob Roy and the martini.* And, frankly, we can't wait that long. We're thirsty and we're not getting any younger. We want to be drinking MBs by April 5, so we can enjoy the NCAA Finals with something a little more potent than our usual pint of lager. That's where you come in. While crowd-sourcing is typically employed in the pursuit of esoteric and/or trivial projects, like developing new kinds of software or analyzing unwieldy piles of data, there's no reason it can't be used for something truly useful, like inventing a new cocktail. You send in your recipes, we judge them. The winning entry will get a $500 shopping spree at KegWorks.com, along with all the glory that will surely come with giving the world a great new balm to toast its triumphs, ease its setbacks, seal its deals, and enliven its slow days at the office. So get out your muddlers, your jiggers, your strainers. Stock up on bitters, mixers, garnishes, and some top-shelf booze. Then get to work. All entries must be submitted by January 31, 2010. THE PRIZE A $500 credit at KegWorks. What can you get for $500? 7,000 plastic palm-tree stirrers. 23.6 pounds of gourmet Maraschino cherries imported from Italy. An absinthe fountain, an absinthe spoon, four absinthe glasses and 1,869 sugar cubes. The possibilities are literally endless. THE JUDGING Top entries will be randomly placed in single elimination tournament, to conclude on Monday, April 5, 2010. Tasting will be done by a very lucky, and likely very drunk, 5-person Magnificent Bastard team. TIPS FOR WINNING/JUDGING CRITERIA There is no accounting for taste (unfortunately), but when it comes to cocktails we subscribe to the basic principles outlined in David A. Embury's canonic "The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks." It would also be beneficial to take 5 minutes and browse the posts in our cocktails channel, where Embury's principles have been put into practice. SO GIVE US YOUR BEST SHOT!The entry period is over. The tournament is over. We have a winner. *If it took Edison seven years to invent a storage battery and we're only half as smart, it would take us 14 years. Except we're fifty times more lazy, so we'd have to multiply 14 x 50, which is 700. But since it's twenty times as hard to invent a classic cocktail than it is to invent a storage battery, we've got to multiply 700 x 20, yielding 14,000. |

So long story short; family in Oklahoma, haven't seen in ~12 years, going to visit this summer.
I've been doing some research, and making inquiries as to reciprocity and verifying the information I found online for a couple weeks now (since I found out this was definitely going to happen, and I didn't have to worry about any of this stuff last time I was there since I had JUST turned 8).
I've been scouring the internet trying to get some good information on all the important stuff pertaining to carrying legally (which won't happen in Georgia or Alabama- no reciprocity with SC; sometimes looking at the maps and laws it almost seems hostile towards non-residents in those states), I eventually sent an email to someone in Oklahoma hoping to get a 'green light' and all is well.
I just got off the phone with Ms. Day at the OSBI and she was friendly, well informed, and probably the most helpful official I've come across since I started carrying. Which is saying something because I've had to make a few calls to SLED, sent letters, and all but had to go to Columbia to say a few mean things.
On a lesser note, I also made a call to Mississippi's weapons permits office. It wasn't all that informative-
"I would like to check on traveling through from another state"
"We have reciprocity with ALL states as long as you have a valid permit- Do you have a permit??"
"We have reciprocity with all states"
Then we weren't on the phone with each other anymore...
So, those of you in Oklahoma who might have a question about Oklahoma permit laws, I would recommend contacting Ms. Day; she seems to know not only what she's talking about, but how to interact with people without making them feel like they're wasting time- theirs or hers.

Phetchaburi Hotels
Phetchaburi, Thailand
Phetchaburi, also known as Phetburi, is a city in Thailand. The Phetchaburi River runs through the city, and numerous temples dot the landscape. From the central market area to the Royal Palace, Phetchaburi is the ideal place to discover all the wonderful aspects of a holiday in beautiful Southeast Asia. ... Read more »
Phetchaburi Attractions

Phetchaburi Activities
- Attend the Phra Nakhon Khiri Fair in February
- Fish the Phetchaburi River
- Visit Wat Mahathat, the main temple in Phetchaburi featuring a five-spired, white-washed brick prang that is said to house relics of Buddha
Phetchaburi Climate
Phetchaburi hosts rainy, warm summers from May through September, with temperatures of 90°F (32°C) and above. October through April temperatures cool down to 80°F (27°C), and the weather is much drier. Average annual rainfall for the area measures 50 inches (1,270 mm) or more.
Getting There & Around
Express buses and taxis take visitors from Bangkok Airport to Phetchaburi (be sure to determine the fare before entering the taxi). Visitors can also journey from the Hua Lamphong Railway Station to Phetchaburi by train, a four- to five-hour trip.
In the city, tuk-tuks, motorcycle taxis and, for a slower pace, two-seat, pedal-powered tricycle taxis are transportation options. It is important to give the driver directions in the Thai language (written or verbal). Walking is great as well, since most of the temples are within close distance of the market area.

The radio interference issue has been mitigated since the first large scale deployment in Manchester, England encountered it.

KENDRICK LAMAR Tickets
Ahead of his performance at the Wireless Festival in London, hip-hop sensation Kendrick Lamar has lined up shows in Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds - tickets are on sale now on Aloud.com
With his long awaited major label debut album, 'good kid, M.A.A.D. city' on track to be the most explosive hip-hop debut of 2012, Kendrick Lamar has lined up his first headline tour of the UK.
Hailed as the new face of West Coast Rap, the 25 yr-old Compton-native has already been making his mark on the music scene, first with his sought-after mixtapes – 'Training Day' and 'C4'. Then with his self-titled debut EP, 2009's 'Kendrick Lamar' which featured his trademark singles 'P&P' and 'She Needs Me', followed up by 2010's '(O)verly (D)edicated' powered by the singles 'Michael Jordan' and 'Cut You Off'.
In 2011 he independently released 'Section. 80' becoming one of the top digital hip hop albums of the year. Fast-forward to 2012 and with the weight and backing of Dr. Dre (the two recently had a joint XXL cover), Kendrick is ready to release his highly-anticipated major label album 'Good Kid, m.A.A.d City' out October 22nd through Top Dawg Entertainment/Aftermath Entertainment/Interscope Records. As well as scene stealing features alongside Drake, Mary J. Blige and others - Kendrick is poised to be the first artist in a long time to not only change how the country views West Coast Hip Hop, but how the world sees Hip Hop as a whole. "The coolest sh*t to say used to be the gangsta sh*t," Kendrick says. "But now, the real cool sh*t to talk about is supporting your family."

The Clerk of the Circuit Court is a constitutional officer required by the Constitution of Virginia and elected by the citizens of Isle of Wight County. The office was established in colonial times to preserve and make accessible to the public important records, such as deeds, wills, and other documents relating to the ownership of real estate and court records.
Today the Clerk and staff perform multiple duties that in many states are divided among several government offices. The Code of Virginia lists over 800 responsibilities and duties for the Clerk. The variety of duties include the following: public safety, court services, recorder of deeds, probate, custodian of court cases, public services, preservation of historic records, and keeper of election ballots.
The Clerk's Office records deeds, wills, civil suits, financing statements and other documents relating to real estate and civil cases. It is also the administrative office for the Circuit Court and serves as support for Circuit Court Judges. Our judicial responsibilities are keeping both the active and concluded court dockets, and make arrangements necessary for trial of both civil and criminal cases. The Clerk's Office issues subpoenas for witnesses, draws jurors, sets trial dates and attends trials to obtain the facts for writing court orders reflecting the result of the cases. The Clerk's Office dockets judgments, and collects fines and costs
The Circuit Court Clerk's Office serves as the Probate Court appointing persons to administer estates and recording estate documents.
Other duties include issuing marriage licenses, hunting and fishing licenses, and passports; administering notary oaths and oaths of all County appointed officials and elected officials, and recording liens and releases.
- Continue to provide the services necessary as Keeper of the Records

Attention Hack
Learn how to hack your brain into paying attention.
Written by Rachel Taylor on 27th January 2015The games industry was one of the few to emerge from the recent recession unscathed, with just about every other industry showing losses until recently. It looks like the good luck has run out though, for UK gamers anyway, as GAME group, home to GAME and Gamestation is at the lowest point sales-wise in its history.
Their fate was sealed when consumers began receiving emails saying that their preorders of Mass Effect 3 had been cancelled, with more details arriving a few days later. Said to be due to a refinancing and strategic review of the company conflicting with the credit terms from EA, the company would not be stocking any March releases from the publisher after SSX. This includes Mass Effect 3, possibly the most anticipated game of 2012, a decision that is set to cost GAME group upwards of £2.5 million in lost profit.
Though officially this is a temporary problem, and is a stock issue, it's hard to see this as anything but the final straw for a company that has continually been losing out to both online retailers, such as Amazon and Play, and digital distribution of content. Schemes to keep people in their stores have been hit and miss, with redemption codes sold on cards attempting to get people to the tills despite garnering very little profit for the retailer. The Online Pass debate has made preowned games the much less attractive option, and with online prices for new games sometimes half the price of in store the company has struggled stay relevant.
With stores closing across the country, unconfirmed reports that the directors of GAME group are planning to cut their losses have begun to appear. By the time you read this, it may all be over for Game and Gamestation, two shops in particular that at one time were the main place to go for the latest releases. Even if they do survive March, what happens the next time a major release isn't stocked? Imagine a game retailer where you couldn't buy the new Call of Duty for instance. Surely this is the end for a company that has always lived up to its name.

Descendientes de J. Palacios Corullón 2010
Winemaker's Notes:
The 'village' wine - Corullón being the village in Bierzo where these wonderful hillside bush-vines occur at their finest. Corullón is the summation of 210 distinct, bio-dynamically farmed parcels of fruit. Pure Mencia, with red cherry, tree fruits (dark mulberry), wild spice and complex perfume - wild berries and flowers, pickled cherry, violet over fennel, smokey meat, forest floor and charcoal. Dark, livery meat palate is deep, silky and sumptuous, driven by fine, long fruit tannin.

Editorial Reviews for Descendientes de J. Palacios Corullón
A blend of Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz A bit sweet on the nose and showing a bit of reduction underneath the herb, briar flecked blackberry fruit, and dry soil aromas. Air cleans things up nicely revealing some blueberry fruit and a little brushy, dried herb, chaparral-like tone. Thi is super fresh in the mouth and packed with berry fruit that is taut and tight and a little youthfully harsh with high acid and angular little tannins in the mouth. There is so much fresh fruit here that you can ignore the edginess and appreciate this for what it is a tense, fruity, mouth-cleansing wine with good length. 87pts
External Reviews for Descendientes de J. Palacios Corullón
This Primitivo wine is a beautiful deep ruby color, intense, with rich plummy aromas. It is dry, soft, and rich with excellent balance, medium body ripe fruit flavors and a long finish with soft tannins. A wonderful compliment when served with roasted red meats, wild game, and spicy cheeses. Serve at room temperature. - Winery
Intense aroma of young fresh fruit like cherry and blackberry. Dark in color, it also shows some spicy notes along with some wood. Well structured in the mouth it has excellent acidity and firm tannins. The final is long, seductive and complex. It's a wine that we can enjoy from now but it will also age a few years very well.
Purpur Farbe. In der Nase intensive fruchtige und blumige Aromen. In der Nase mineralisch, mit viel Frucht, Würzigkeit, leicht rauchige Noten sowie blumig. Ein charaktervoller Wein mit einem fruchtig, frischen Finale.
Bierzo, SpainDescendientes de J. Palacios Petalos is a gorgeous red wine gem from the Bierzo region, perched in the northwest corner of Spain. The legend of Spanish winemaker Alvaro Palacios continues to grow! His latest project features another rising star--the obscure Menca grape. Here ancient Menca vineyards emerge from the steepest of hillsides, their roots deeply set into unique, mineral-laden soils. Under the skilled hands of Palacios and his cousin, Ricardo Perez Palacios, the forgotten black grape (believed by some to be a cousin of Cabernet Franc) has achieved new heights. The 60- to 100-year-old vines yield less than one ton per acre, resulting in a most concentrated, unique expression of this variety and of the Bierzo terroir. Ricardo Perez implements organic and biodynamic practices.In reviewing this 2009 vintage of Descendientes de J. Palacios Petalos, the world's leading wine critics are in agreement: this wine is a winner! Wine Spectator rated it 91 points and, for the second year in a row, named it among its Top 100 Wines of 2012, ranking it #57. Josh Raynolds for Steve Tanzer also scored it 91 points. Get it while you can!Descendientes de J. Palacios Petalos is dark purple-red in color with full body and bright acidity. The nose offers fragrant aromas of blackberries, black cherries, licorice, spice and violets. The palate is rich and velvety with dark berries, mineral notes and well integrated oak. Aged for a few weeks in new French oak barriques followed by 6-10 months in 2nd and 3rd passage barrels. The finish is long and pleasing.Enjoy Descendientes de J. Palacios Petalos with steak, roast pork, BBQ ribs, grilled vegetables and aged cheeses.

Cyberpunk is a documentary that looks back at the 80s cyberpunk movement, and more specifically, how this has led to a trend in the "real" world where people were starting to refer to themselves as "cyberpunk." The documentary sees "cyberpunks" as being synonymous with hackers. A number of writers, artists, musicians and scientists are interviewed to provide context to this movement. The guiding meme, as told by Gibson, is that information "wants" to be free. 60s counter-culture drug philosopher, Timothy Leary, provides a prediction that cyberpunks will "decentralize knowledge," which will serve to remove power from those "in power" and bring it back to the masses. Many different potential technologies are discussed, including "smart drugs," sentient machines, advanced prosthetics — all of which serve to give context to the idea of post-humanity and its imminent arrival on the world stage.

Beefheart Doc Salutes the Captain
Me and mine were all saddened last week with the news of the passing of one of the true great originals of American popular music — Captain Beefheart.
The man who was born into this world as Don Van Vliet died on December 17th from complications resulting from his long battle with MS.
Vliet's music combined an elemental distillation of American Blues with the psychedelic sensibilities of the '60's and a fervor for avant garde composition. The result was captivating, invigorating and infuriating at turns – and sometimes all at once. Along with various incarnations of his Magic Band, the Captain cut a path that few have followed, though many – including Tom Waits – owe large debts to his influence. For the last several decades the Captain hung up his harmonica to concentrate on visual art, becoming a respected abstract painter.
Having sifted through a number of eulogies and tributes, here are some of the best memento mori we could find.… Read the rest
The Year's Best-Dressed Graphic Novel
Chapter 16 asked me to have a chat with Jim McCann and Janet Lee in order to get to the bottom of their new graphic novel Return of the Dapper Men. The book has been selling out following a wave of rave reviews and this wide-ranging chat included talk about the Big Bang, the nature of time, innocence, experience and the nature of the relationship between men and their machines:

Although their celebrated new book takes place in a fantastical world, Jim McCann and Janet Lee both trace their roots to Nashville. McCann, a native Nashvillian, moved to New York in 2004 to become a successful comic book author, penning pages for X-Men, New Avengers and other Marvel Comics titles.
Keith on Keith (Richards)
"This is the Life. Believe it or not, I haven't forgotten any of it. Thanks and praises, Keith Richards."Perhaps the most highly-anticipated rock autobiography ever, Life is the most detailed account we have yet of the legendary guitarist/songwriter. Richards has lived his life in public since his early 20s and he's always lived it in the full-glare of the media — bad publicity be damned. That said, this book is not a confessional reassessment in which a public figure offers explanations — or excuses — for past sins. Richards greatest music and worst behavior are a matter of public record and Life doesn't offer a new version of events so much as it delivers his version, and it's full of crazy wisdom, smirking sarcasm, raspy rambles, heart and soul. While other volumes — like Victor Bockris' excellent Keith — have revealed the man through the eyes of friends, family and Rolling Stones insiders, it's Life's first-person candor that sets it apart. Not only does Richards give us the straight-dope on Keith, he also illuminates the rise of rock 'n' roll and the '60's counter-culture from inside the eye of the hurricane. Life is also about the creative life of one of rock's most important guitarists and songwriters, and the book's rich detail is at least partly due to a life lived on the look-out for the next song, the next riff.
Subversive Artist Appropriates Scrooge McDuck
Recently, I checked in with my pal Hector Hernandez to see what the Art Czar was up to … In a recent post, the 'Czar had an abbreviated conversation with subversive pop artist Dave MacDowell:
Art Czar: Tell me about "Duck and Cover"
MacDowell: "Duck and Cover" was painted for a group show at Crewest Gallery in LA. I wanted an urban graffiti vibe to fit with the gallery, so I constructed the spray can out of cardboard and glued it to the canvas. The theme comments on human nature's natural ability to lift up heros, only to knock them down. How anyone who has an original thought or idea outside of the status quo, usually gets silenced and sacrificed. People in power fear the power of the people.

Donald Cammell's Cinema of Excess
Even if you are a die-hard fan of outre, counter-cultural cinema, you might not leap to attention at the mention of the name Donald Cammell.
A painting prodigy as a young man, Cammell was making a living with his brushes by the age of 19. Having built the foundations of a lucrative portrait painting career, Cammell moved to Paris in search of a more inspired path in art. This shunning of commercial opportunity for artistic possibility marked Cammell's pursuits in the years to come. It's both the reason why he's not more widely known and why he continues to be re-discovered by lovers of cinema on the fringes.
Returning to Swinging London in the 1960's, Cammell decided that painting was dead and that he needed to turn his talents towards cinema. He lived a bohemian lifestyle and became the embodiment of the era's libertine ideals.… Read the rest
Kenneth Anger Interviewed by Gaspar Noe
Kenneth Anger, the octogenarian American underground filmmaker, has largely been heralded as one of the founders of experimental film, with his role in inspiring directors such as Martin Scorsese and David Lynch. He pioneered queer, cult and psychedelic film without ever imagining himself in a gere, and this year he crossed over into fashion and created a piece (with longtime collaborator Brian Butler) for the Italian fashion house Missoni.
Gaspar Noé, director of the recent film Enter the Void and creator of the controversial film Irreversible, has long been a vocal supporter of Kenneth Anger...
Dead Sea Scrolls Go Digital
Want your very own copy of the Dead Sea Scrolls? You'll soon be able to access the ancient writings in their – sort of – original form thanks to this interesting new project brought to you by the Israel Antiquities Authority and Google.
Joel Greenberg of The Washington Post explains:
… Read the restThe joint project is the latest stage of gradually widening access to the 2,000-year-old documents, once available to only a restricted group of scholars but made more accessible in recent decades through facsimile editions and published studies. Organizers say the first images will be online in a few months.
The project marries "one of the most important finds of the previous century with the most advanced technology of the next century," said Pnina Shor, the director of the project at the Antiquities Authority. "We are putting together the past with the future in order to share it."
The scrolls were discovered in the late 1940s and the 1950s in caves east of Jerusalem, near the ruins of Qumran on the Dead Sea.
The Wacked-Out World of Paul McCarthy
The internet has become an eternal shore for moving images of all kinds. A nimble search with creative keywords will almost always reveal compelling films and television episodes washing up in the hightidewhitenoise. Recently, we've been turning up a number of great art videos as well.
Quite by accident we just stumbled across this gem by Paul McCarthy. Here's what Frieze Magazine has to say about "Painter":
… Read the restThe Painter (1995) is a brilliant interrogation of the senility and late paintings of Willem de Kooning, complete with collectors and dealers puppet-mastering around him. It's a video deploying, as so many of his videos do, the mise-en-scène of instructional television (from the Galloping Gourmet to Martha Stewart), but one in which the painter mumbles and cries: 'You can't do it anymore you can't do it anymore.' And later: 'I can't do this anymore.' He means painting, he means art-making, he may mean life.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Truthfully I only finished [b:Fallen|6487308|Fallen (Fallen, #1)|Lauren Kate|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1268869615s/6487308.jpg|6678670] because I made myself finish it to try and give it a chance. I started Torment in some pathetic hope the story would get better in the second installment. Oh dear life was I wrong! I got in about 2 chapters and just quit when I could see it was more of the same awfulness. I have so many problems with this book and its predecessor. First but not least, Luce drives me insane. Does she whine? Check! Complain? Check! Fall in love with the first males she sets her eyes on? Check! Do basically nothing and need to be rescued a alot? Check! In addition she is yet another female character that continues to be obsessed with a guy who treats her like crap. She also acts like a stalker. Daniel, the super hot mysterious male (the fact the reader is bashed over the head with EVERY time he comes up) is a jerk, and refuses to give Luce any information, because as a woman she just couldn't possibly handle it. So of course when he finally does tell her parts of his secret, Luce in fact can't handle it and runs the eff off. Daniel is also super selfish. If he really loved Luce he would actually stay away from her not get near her and Anyway, this is basically a review of the first book but works for Torment since it's just more of the same. Don't bother with this book and find something else to read. This book was pretty good, it was better then the first in the series. The ending was very abrupt, so i'm not sure if i'll read the next one that comes out. What can I say, I loved it! Great sequel that introduces interesting new characters while fleshing out the existing ones. I would like to learn more about Daniel, but then, so would Luce so I can't really complain. If you liked Fallen you should definitely enjoy Torment. Can't wait to read the next installment. This book sadly was a DNF for me. I read the last one and had a 'so, so' response...this one just made me want to throw it. I just couldn't get into it...it felt like the same clouded in mystery feeling as the last book...also I think Luce is getting whinier...and I didn't like that. As always the covers are gorgeous...I wish I could have liked it more! Even though I hadn't read part 1 of the "Fallen" series, part 2 stands alone. It will delight teen readers, (and those of us who love YA), and the cliff hanger ending will leave you clamoring for the next installment in this exciting series. no reviews | add a review Is contained inIs abridged in
No descriptions found. It took Luce and her fallen angel boyfriend, Daniel an eternity to find one another, but now he has told her he must go away.

I've only been able to simulate the games and not actually play.....WTF?! Am I just doing it wrong?....I'm confused. Please help.
I tried that at first, but it totally sucks. That's nothing like Franchise mode though and it sucks. All you can do is either coach, be ONE player, or sim the game. It's so very stupid. The people that decided to end franchise should be fired.
I'm doing a coaching career and it lets me play every snap of every game with every player on my team plus make all the cuts, free agent signings, scouting, drafting etc that you would in a franchise. It's the closest to a franchise they've got and while I'm not entirely happy with that being the only option but it suffices.
NO FRANCHISE MODE. I was thinking of buying the game until I read everyone rating the game 2/5 stars on Amazon because there was no franchise mode.
cuts were during pre season, but flick the right stick right or left when you're at the screen with the stories and twitter and you can go to the furthest right one which takes you to personnel (sorry I can't remember what the tab is called right now I'm at work) this screen allows you to set your depth chart, sign free agents, release players, make trades, spend xp on your players etc. Go to the screen where it has the list that usually says practice then it says play game and after that there should be a list for scouting and other actions just go down to the desired action and press x which should take you to the screen for scouting or whatever you chose.
good glad it helped, I personally would have been fine if they just stuck with the franchise mode, it really probably is my only complaint about the game other wise I'm having a lot of fun. I'm sure after more time with it we'll get used to it.
Looking at the Amazon reviews- 75 one stars out of 111 reviews lol. IGN gives it a 9 but real gamers are destroying it.
A lot of people on this board were hyped after the demo. Me not so much. Seems all the bad reviews are mostly based on the Franchise mode, so if you liked the demo gameplay at least you still got that gameplay. Really its hard to understand how such a huge franchise can't move forward without taking steps back- the launch of the gen being a great example.
you're exactly correct I'm not looking forward to what is going to be cut for the first two years of madden on ps4 then brought back as this amazing new feature that we had on the ps2.
Like leading passes, they keep saying that's an added feature like we have been leading passes since ps2.
Lol wat? Leading passes is a much more accurate this year because of all new pass trajectories mainly. You could not throw the ball with such precision in others, trust me I know. Also connected careers is a million x better than just franchise. Play as any player, coach, play as legends. Legacy credits, all different types of mini games or practices. You would rather have that taken away to keep franchise mode which is about 95 percent incorporated into CC? Hahaha
Picking a coach is basically the same thing as franchise mode. Not having a fantasy draft option is absolutely terrible. My only complaint about the game thus far.
not only can i not use my custom playbook, but i cant edit my players or opponent jersey. the last 2 not the most horrible thing...but no custom playbook?????? its egregious, flagrant, unconstitutional asinine asiten asieleven asitwelve
People are so stupid, it literally says in the menus, "Looking for franchise, try Connected Careers!"
This game is BS. Back to Gamefly you go. How could they take away Franchise mode? Bad move EA, I can see why you were named the worst company.

Yes exactly like those. Madden is very very improved this year. And almost every bit of franchise is in there plus much much much more. Then the gameplay is completely rehauled for the better. No rocket catches, superman line backer jumps , none of that cheesy shit. It's all gone and people still bitch.
so you can play with every single player like in the original franchise mode just wondering my friend needs help on this matter. appreciate it ?
So if u pick a coach career u can play as all the players but can u add some created players to the roster before u start one?
So if u pick a coach career u can play as all the players but can u add some created players to the roster before u start one?
^^^ as of now i don't think you can start a Coach Career with anything but the Current Roster EA gives you.... so you can't add yourself and be the coach as well.. the game play is 100% better then past games.. no editing players can be super weak.. i don't want to change stats, but you can't change players #'s... so if you ahve a 20 on your team and trade for another 20.. you get 2 # 20s on the same team.. stupid as hell.. also did anyone test this game??? i mean the Score ticker disappears 50% of the time while choosing a play.. during the preseason games 3rd qtr they sub my QB in to Punt the ball..... i have WRs being RB... also not sure why people are saying the commentary is any better then past years... first game of the season... .. they get a big pass play.. first one of the game... and the comment is well the pass defense has been lettting them down all season...
Maybe if some ppl decided to grow a pair and play against live competition instead of whoopin on the computer they would actually enjoy the game instead of crying about franchise mode.
Yea, I bought the 60 dollar waste of money..... I feel like I am playing a controlled experience....... I want to own my experience, not have it be managed by Electronic Arts....
I'm glad I only paid $25 for madden 13. I was disappointed with no Franchise Mode. Aside from that the game is far better then any Madden I've played the last 4-5 yrs bar none.
You're talking about precision passing, which is not the same thing as leading receivers. Precision passing simply affected the area the ball was thrown to but the receiver still ran their same static route. For example, your receiver runs an out route and has a corner trailing close behind him. You hold the stick to the outside so the ball is thrown to his outside, making a defensive play on the ball very hard. But your receiver still runs his simple out route. Or, you have a TE running deep over the middle with smaller defenders underneath. You hold up so its a high pass. It's still a dangerous throw into coverage because you don't stop the receivers route, but at least its thrown high so your TE can go get it. Now you can actually lead receivers like real quarterbacks do. Going back to the example earlier, you're looking at an out route and the corner is close behind your receiver so you have to throw it outside. Only now what if another defender is on the outside as well? With precision passing you're screwed because you can't lead a receiver. Now you can hold up on the stick and lob a pass that goes past the 2nd defender and your receiver actually breaks his route and goes to the ball. There are tons of other examples that show how it's vastly different than what we had. EA has had a history of reintroducing old features as new this gen but that one is actually new And yeah there is a franchise mode in M13, it's called Connected Careers. Certain elements are gone like player editing and multi team control but there are tons of other new elements as well.
omg I never knew you could control passes. It's the right stick, correct? But if you are pressing a receiver's button, your right hand is occupied by pressing the button, so when do you move the stick?
My favorite is when you are Using a slant route and your receiver is going to run into a defender so you can lead the ball straight and turn your slant into a streak.
I'm saying that it's the left stick because I doubt they would make it the right stick when it's pretty much impossible to use. That and I use the left stick so I know that works.
My middle line backer , I like to either drop him back or coverage , rush him through the gaps, or rush mom on the edge. Depending how the offense's formation looks and how their snap looks.
There is not anywhere near as much control in passing as there was in other games. This isn't an opinion it's a fact. I've played thousands of games of madden, it's much better this year. Bottom line.
Idk why people still cry about madden. They fix so much stuff people were having problems with finally and then when they do people say well it took long enough. Negative nancies FTL

Seattle's Arabian Theatre, ca. 1925
It featured some silent films and sometimes eccentric stage shows that were a vestige of Vaudeville.
Special to The Seattle Times
Take a tour through local history
The Seattle Times Historical Archive is a searchable database of Seattle Times newspapers from 1900 through 1984. The archive reveals pages as they were originally published, with stories, photos and advertising.
Local news partners
THE ARABIAN, at 7610 Aurora Ave. N., opened in 1925, featuring some silent films and sometimes eccentric stage shows that were a vestige of Vaudeville. When the live performers were also North End neighbors, the theater seats might be full. For instance:
On Oct. 21, 1926, W.O. Hammer, accompanied by a brass band and a motorcar parade, pushed Tom Egan, secretary of the West Green Lake Commercial Club, in a wheelbarrow up Aurora Avenue to the stage of the Arabian Theatre. Hammer had bet Egan that boxer Jack Dempsey would keep his heavyweight crown. He was wrong. Gene Tunney won. Hammer paid in front of his neighbors.
The city's new light standards were installed on Aurora in the spring of 1927 and celebrated with a "Light-Bearers Parade" to the Arabian Theatre. Our subject from 1925 or '26 is too early to include them.
During the fall of 1928 the Arabian Theatre ran Clara Bow's "Ladies of the Mob" film and paired it with an onstage dance contest featuring the then-popular Varsity Drag:
"Here is the drag, see how it goes,
Down on the heels, up on the toes.
That's the way to do the Varsity Drag."
For another kind of "drag" the following April, 60 "substantial business and professional men" — Masons all — dressed and acted like Broadway chorus girls on the Arabian stage for a benefit show they named "Vampin Babies Frolic."
Mabel Randall, the Arabian's last manager, also gave its stage to neighborhood extras, like the theater parties and benefit shows that were matched with appropriate films. The Arabian screen went dark in 1954, but its stagecraft was resurrected late in 1955 when evangelist John H. Will's Northwest Salvation and Healing Campaign advertised its opening services for Dec. 11 at the "Old Arabian Theatre."

Net-zero Developer Selects Ekotrope for Energy Efficiency Modeling
Green Key Village, the developer of a new Florida subdivision consisting of 145 net-zero homes, has selected Ekotrope software for analyzing and designing energy-efficient buildings.
The Green Key Village venture in Lady Lake, Fla., will offer eco-friendly homes available in ten floor plans. Each home and design will be fully sustainable as defined and certified by the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) and the Home Energy Rating System (HERS).
Green Key Village says its biggest challenge was to find a means to analyze every individual aspect of its 145 home community to ensure that each development could be customized, and result in a net-zero energy status at a cost-effective price. With homebuyers able to select custom options, there are potentially thousands of variables to consider for each home in terms of making it net-zero-energy.
Ekotrope's software suite, which was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, allows builders to analyze energy-efficient and cost-effective configurations of different building envelopes and heating and cooling systems. By analyzing entire systems and comparing thousands of different configurations, the developers of Green Key Village can find the sweet spots that save maximum energy at the lowest cost.
The concept of mixing and matching different features to find the most energy efficiency is also be explored at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which has constructed the Facility for Low Energy Experiments in Buildings (FLEXLAB), consisting of four outdoor test modules. FLEXLAB allows experimenters to replace any building system such as exterior building envelope, windows and shading systems, lights, HVAC, energy control systems, roofs and skylights, or interior components such as furniture, partitions, and raised floors.

Minnesota Golden Gophers (17-3)
@Indiana Hoosiers (5-13)
Sunday, January 25
Assembly Hall
Attendance: None
Bloomington, IN (Sports Network) - Damian Johnson scored a team-high 18 points and grabbed six rebounds as 21st-ranked Minnesota held off Indiana, 67-63, in a Big Ten matchup at Assembly Hall.
Ralph Sampson III had a solid game with 13 points, eight rebounds and six blocked shots, while Lawrence Westbrook had 12 points and Jamal Abu-Shamala 10 for Minnesota (17-3, 5-3 Big Ten), which snapped a two-game slide after dropping games to Northwestern and Purdue.
Devan Dumes led all scorers with 19 points and Malik Story chipped in with 14 for Indiana (5-13, 0-6), which has dropped nine straight games. It's the longest losing streak for the Hoosiers since they dropped 11 in a row from January 8 through February 18, 1944.
"It was huge," Minnesota head coach Tubby Smith said about the win. "We want to stay on pace and keep our eye on the goal, and compete for a Big Ten and stay in the hunt, then you have to find ways to win."
Tom Pritchard donated 10 points to go along with five boards in defeat.
The Hoosiers have also lost five in a row at Assembly Hall to match their longest losing streak in the building. Indiana also lost five in a row at Assembly Hall during the 1984-85 season.
In a closely contested second half, with Minnesota clinging to a 60-59 lead, layups by Johnson and Sampson stretched the Gopher advantage to five with just under two minutes to play.
However, a Story jumper with 1:19 remaining made it a 64-61 game after he missed the free throw on the three-point opportunity. After a shot clock violation on the Gophers' the next trip down the floor, a pair of free throws by Nick Williams got IU within a point with 29 ticks left.
Indiana then called a timeout and a foul on Verdell Jones put Al Nolen at the free-throw line. Nolen calmly made both to push Minnesota's lead to 66-63.
"This was the first time probably all year where I looked at this team and it was the culmination of the whole week of them really building up not only a preparation to win, not only a desire to win, but the belief the would win," Indiana head coach Tom Crean said. "This is one of the tougher ones to swallow. They all are. They are miserable for every coach and everybody that is a part of it."
Dumes missed from beyond the arc on IU's next trip and after the Hoosiers were forced to foul, Paul Carter's one-of-two effort from the line accounted for the final margin.
The Gophers won despite making only 13-of-22 free throws and only 4-of-16 three-point tries.
With Minnesota holding a slim 31-30 lead after one half, the Gophers started the second on a 11-5 run to grab a 42-35 lead. But the Hoosiers got back to within a point at 45-44 after a Daniel Moore layin.
The Gophers scored six of the next seven to take a 51-45 lead near the midway point of the half, but a Pritchard layup and a Dumes trey made it a one-point game again and things would be close until the final four minutes.
Dumes hit 4-of-6 three-point tries and Indiana stayed in the game by connecting on 8-of-15 from beyond the arc.
After an evenly played opening 10 minutes with things tied at 11-11, Matt Roth hit from three-point territory, leading the Hoosiers on an 8-0 run. IU took a 22-15 edge following a jumper by Jones with 5:56 left in the half.
But Minnesota put together a 9-3 run and Abu-Shamala's four-point play made it a one-point game at 25-24 with 3:26 left in the half.
The visitors then surged in front, 29-27, on a Johnson three-point play and held a 31-27 advantage on Westbrook's jumper with five ticks to go. Jones' half-court buzzer-beater got Indiana within a single point heading into the break.

0Aug 25, '13 by nomadcrna, DNP, CRNA, NPNo need to be a leader in the profession to be clinically competent.
BTW, those ARE ENP requirements. I'm not sure what you are suggesting. They were a direct link from the ENP page. -
0Aug 25, '13 by MedictoRNQuote from nomadcrnaThere is more to this certification than clinical competence. It validates professional dedication, involvement, leadership, mentorship and clinical expertise.No need to be a leader in the profession to be clinically competent.
The good news is that nobody has to have this to get a position in the ER. It is simply a way to show to peers, colleages and potential employers that one has demonstrated not just clinical competence but a level of clincal and professional expertise that is above average.
BTW, those ARE ENP requirements. I'm not sure what you are suggesting. They were a direct link from the ENP page.
This is specific for the ENP application. What you are quoting is the general instructions for all of the certifications through portfolio. I think those specifically listed in the ENP specific instructions are very doable and relevent to my practice. -
2Aug 25, '13 by juan de la cruz, MSN, RN, NP GuideQuote from MedictoRNThe initial press releases I've received from ANCC stated UC or EC. That's when I started this post. The final rules only say EC. I have no interest in this certification, I am an Adult Critical Care NP.

Sheena Easton
~ Person
Legal name: Sheena Shirley Orr
Sheena Shirley Easton (née Orr; born April 27, 1959) is a Scottish international recording artist and stage and TV/film actress. Easton first came into the public eye as the focus of an episode in the first British reality television programme The Big Time: Pop Singer, which recorded her attempts to gain a record contract and her eventual signing with EMI Records.
Easton's 1980 debut singles, "Modern Girl" and "9 to 5"," entered into the UK top ten, making her the first UK female artist to appear twice in the same top ten.
